Amazing Long Lost Junkyards

Old photographs of long lost auto junkyards & scrapyards from the 1930's

[@markfortin421]

The saddest video I have ever watched....especially when they burn the interiors to get rid of the wood and seats.....

[@lancebelflower2110]

When I look at these old cars. I think about all of the families that went on vacations. Just going to the grocery store. And all of the history behind these cars.

[@Statimtek]

Ahh the good 'ol days when you could go to the local neighborhood junkyard and find a cannon.

[@alansmlth7989]

Back when you could buy an old car cheap and fix it up. WOW

[@ktoth29]

I like those old timey urban junkyards behind a picket fence between two brick buildings, makes me feel like I'm in a looney toons cartoon.

[@joseromero2092]

Those were the days of our beautiful cars

[@robertpradella6550]

I love this video! A sight for soar eye !

[@marksallee6742]

Wish I could find something like that today. What a gold mine it would be.

[@allanhunter2328]

many of these places still exist man has to go into the back country and find them. I have found such places myself. Az. Co. Nev. N.M. Tex

[@aajksattic]

Most of these probably ended up in the WWII scrap drive.

[@jameswestervelt4263]

I wonder how many of those old junkyards are still around? And how many, if any of those old cars or trucks got saved??

[@russbonk1372]

All that scrap that went overseas....only to come back at us in an evil manner! Ugh......

[@hersonlamolli6276]

If I were rich I we have a coliseum of old cars.

[@dominiks.5741]

depressing

[@joe5636]

cool old photo's

[@ReelNostalgia]

Thanks!

[@stevetaylor6501]

Its funny how all the cars are on their side...probably to have access to mechanical stuff and no one was worried about saving body panels.

[@jackiedenham2693]

I would just love to know where this is. Viet Nam Vet

[@bobw5502]

Can make alot of hotrods

[@Statimtek]

Hot Rodder's paradise

[@jadedequeljoe3283]

Some of those cars fixed up are worth a fortune today. I remember prowling round a junkyard in 1960 or there abouts when I was around 12. I found an old Marmon from the late 20’s. Not a wreck, could have been restored. Probably could have got it for a couple hundred bucks. Do you know what a Marmon is worth in 2021?

[@liljgoneman9765]

Dig the tune, man. It fits.

[@ReelNostalgia]

liljgoneman Thanks!

[@nethanelmasters5170]

Some of these pictures are from the metal drives they had during ww2. My grandfather helped pick it up and load it on rail cars.

[@thechriscollection9983]

These cars all long gone and crushed, melted down made into new cars, probably a dozen times over

[@timwilson979]

Is this place still there. This place is amazin

[@ReelNostalgia]
